She folded the laundry for me.

You probably can't tell, but everything is sorted in perfect little piles. She did this all while I was in the kitchen feeding the baby. I could hear her happily singing along to Raffi, the whole time.

Doing dishes, I turn around to see this-

She's pumping with aspirators! (nose bulbs) So inventive.

Goodbye gummy smile.

Stryder's first two baby teeth are coming through! As much as I looove that gummy smile, it's always surprising how the more teeth come in- the cuter the smile. Maybe now the kid can be happy more than once in a while.

Watching inauguration of Barack Obama.

Hooray! 6 months old today!

I'm so thrilled that Stryder is getting to be a big boy now. He still is really in touch with his wild and screaming side. But now he can play with his sister and laugh and make the cute scrunchy face! We love you Stryder-bear!

A kitty-cat sticker!

I've been using these as incentive for Ava to take a nap. We call it a "special surprise", usually because I don't really have an idea what it's going to be either. Anything kitty-cat related has been working out pretty well, lately.

Lots of tummy time.

Yesterday, Stryder rolled-over four times in the same direction, until he was off of the "tummy time" blanket. I guess this means he's officially on the move!

Four months old.

We have been waiting for this age forever cause we thought all our issues with colic and screaming would be over. I guess that isn't so. Everything seems harder than ever, now. Something has got to give here soon or we'll all be in the loony bin! Isn't he cute though?

My little teddy bear.

Thanks to my sister Sarah for making these adorable ears for Abe's teddy bear picnic birthday party, a while ago.

Another hair picture.

I put Ava's hair in these little loops for under her kitty cat costume hood. I just couldn't keep myself from taking a photo.
